It promotes home cooking, and the use of fresh, unprocessed produce. It was founded as reaction to the popularity of unhealthy fast food. It also encourages people to buy food from local businesses, rather than large supermarkets.The movement began in 1986. At that time, McDonalds wanted to open a restaurant in the centre of Rome (Italy). Food writer Carlo Perini, along with others, was against this. So, the Slow Food Organization was born. Today, it has overt 100,000 members in 132 countries. And its symbol is one of the worlds slowest moving creatures, the snail. The organizations website explains, “The snail was chosen because it moves slowly, and calmly eats its way through life.”But Slow Food isnt just about the food we eat. Its also about how we eat it. Slow foodies say that in our fast-food world with very little time, weve forgotten that eating should be a social activity. They believe families should eat together and talk, rather than watch TV with their dinner while sitting in front of it. In fact, research has shown that if children grow up in a family that eats together at the table, they are more likely to do well in school, and less likely to have behavioral problems or develop eating disorders.And theres more! Slow Food has sparked an entire Slow Food Movement. This encourages people to slow down the pace of their busy lives. And now, within the movement, theres Slow Money, Slow Travel, Slow Parenting, Slow Art and Slow Media, among many others. In 1999 the World Institute of Slowness was formed. One of the Institutes slogans is a quotation by the famous American actress Mae West. She said, “Everything worth doing in life is worth doing slowly.” Do you agree? No need to answer straight away. Have a long hard thought about it. Take your time. And get back to us when you can.56.

Slow Food Movement has little effect on the whole society.B. Children growing in slow food families usually behave well.C. Mae West thought that everything should be done slowly.D. Slow foodies dont like to watch TV and other entertainment.59. What is the authors purpose in writing this article?A. To call on people to join Slow Food Movement.B. To tell people what Slow Food Movement is about.C. To tell people to think about their life and their food.D. To call on people to object to fast food.BThe Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghaibased Wenhui Daily reported.The World Health Organization estimated that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problem will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing municipal health bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems.If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crime, drugtaking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study.A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in onechild families.Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing.Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 middle school, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month.“Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions,” Yin said.The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national College Entrance Exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.60. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To urge awareness on mental health of the young.B. To give the details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.C.

Mental problems mainly appear among the youth while they are seldom seen among adults.C. China has the largest number of youngsters with psychological problems.D. Many schools have realized the problem and taken measures.63. We can infer that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, _.A. attention should be paid to the education of the only childB. psychologist must be a necessary part of schoolC. the government will cancel tests to ease the pressure on the studentsD. rapid social change plays the leading part in causing mental problemsCToday, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.64. The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area _.A. where people can buy things B. which is suitable for living inC. where people can do business D. which is near a city center65. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A. Because they can live more comfortably there.B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.C. Because they mainly want to find work there.D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.66. Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?A. Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.B. People usually work and live in the business district.C. A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.D. Nearly every major city has its own business district.DLots of people are unhappy with their present weight, but most arent sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines and on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic (现实的) for you.
